Engineers Establish Accuracy and Usability Standards
Human-factors engineers, along with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a rigorous, standardized test for all electronic voting machines -- whose error rate is ... > more -
Engineers Test Ventilated Seats And Thermal-Acoustic System To Make A/C Energy-Efficient
Engineers at a national lab have shown that small fans embedded in car seats could help cool passengers down -- saving up to 7 percent of the 30 to 40 gallons of gasoline per year an average driver ... > more -
Robotic Camera Will Take Motion X-Rays by Following Patients' Movements
Orthopedic injuries are among the most common reasons people visit the doctor. Whether it's pain in the knee, hip or shoulder, doctors have a difficult time making an exact diagnosis without surgery. ... > more -
Physical Chemists Devise Quick Spectrometry-Based Mercury Test
Physical chemists have created a new, cheap test to detect mercury, an element known to harm the brain, kidneys, heart, lungs and immune system. A gold nanorod absorbs mercury from a sample and, then ... > more -
Civil Engineers Learn from Dutch Flood Barrier System
A group of U.S. civil engineers and city officials went on a recent trip to the Netherlands -- a country much of which is below sea level -- to study the country's storm surge barrier system. The ... > more -
